Abstract

This work presents an optimal meter placement methodology for real-time power distribution systems monitoring. The proposed methodology is flexible and enables to take into account aspects such as: different network configurations, use of pseudomeasurements, already existent meters and remote terminal units, among others. The Genetic algorithms technique is employed to achieve a trade-off between investment costs and real-time monitoring capability.
